Patch for Mac?

-REtheridge · Post by **-REtheridge** » 21 Dec 2006 07:17

Any news or ideas on a patch for Mac OS X? It would extremely useful for Mac users as you can only have OpenTTD with only a few add ons that work (of which are glitchy).

Thanks for any comments.

Huh? OpenTTD is supported for at least the latest versions of MacOSX, so what do you mean exactly?

Open TTD isn't a patch though, I was interested in the patch because without the patch many of the add ons don't work, well not on OS X.

I am wondering which 'add-ons' with respect to the x86 binaries are not supported on MacOSX, when both the x86 and MacOSX binaries are made from the same source version.

By the way, OpenTTD has not been a patch ever.

As I understand, -REtheridge would like to know if there is a way to apply TTDPatch on OTTD, then get all the grfs and freatures from TTDPatch instead of the few that exists for OTTD.

The answer is "no". OTTD game is just a clone of TTDLX. That's mean the whole code is different from the original game, so TTDPatch can't be applyed on.

But OTTD isn't limited as TTDPatch by the lacks of the TTDLX engine. By this way, devs are free to create new feature easily.
TTDPatch features and grfs are currently worked arround to be added in OTTD. I mean new instrustries, new cargo, new houses and other stuffs are worked arround and should be available in the next version of OTTD. Just be patient

If you want to use TTDPatch on MacOS, my understanding is that qemu and/or [dar]wine will do the trick, depending on whether you're using a PPC or x86 Mac.

Thanks a lot for all responces, it's just only one .grf works on my computer with the latest OpenTTD, so I'll just wait till the next one!

If you try the latest nightlies, you'll find a lot more will work.

I believe he's using Windows GRF files while he has the DOS paletted original graphics which is causing the "glitches".

I installed OTTD using my old MS-DOS CD, and it work fine with the Windows GRFs

?:

What is the difference ?
New houses don't work at all with the new patch, nor roads renew (but I hane new road, but don't know where they come from : they're different from GRF screenshots

)
But for vehicules and stations, everything works fine with the Windows versions of GRFs...
